What kind microphone is recommended for amateur musician wanting quality product for voice recordings?

A decent SA or Rode (eg https://www.andertons.co.uk/rode-nt1a-complete-vocal-recording-system) with a decent interface say focusrite if you want to start somewhere and some decent headphones unless you know what you’re doing with acoustic treatment and monitors. For relatively small outlets you can have easily professional results. Don’t skimp on investing time in learning to use Logic properly, that will be the rate limiter for your journey.

finally you don’t need to buy any third party plugins to get pro sounding results , just go with stock logic instruments and plugins till you know what you need or have a (very) specific issue.

Ps if you have piles of cash, then ignore all of the above and follow the never ending internet “must haves. ” !

Just to add: you're much better off with a mic and separate audio interface rather than a USB microphone. Next, learn the hardware, interface and mic. Condenser mics use phantom power from the interface, phantom power should be off when plugging and unplugging the mic cable.

I would emphasize that the acoustic treatment of your vocal recording space will have much more effect on the sound of your vocals than the choice of mics will, as long as the mic is reasonably good, ie low noise (stay away from most USB mics).

Hi mbluckyluc,

If you get a good quality microphone, maybe a Shure, you can plug it directly in the headphone socket of your Macbook pro! I just heard about this, you will need a mini jack plug adaptor to fit in the headphone socket.

I am actually ordering a mini jack plug adaptor to try today.

I would advise a good heavy duty microphone stand, K&M make excellent quality ones.

Good luck with it all.
